Re: Grand Battle of Flightless Birds

just took a second look at this thread and it really is a great design. so far the only one i would buy for sure.

Re: Flying Pucker

I don't want to crush anyones dreams or anything, but obviously these pucker shirts are not doing well so why do you keep making them?

Re: A Prickly Landing

This is really fun!
I had no idea whatsoever that it was your design, until I noticed you responding to comments about it

Good job, I love seeing something new from artists week after week.

my thoughts exactly...but more polite...

Re: Your Time to Fly

First, thank you to everyone who is commenting and voting. Thanks for your time and your interest, very much!

When I designed this, my concept was to make a more powerful take on the typical shirts with wings on the back (hence the wings as the design's centerpiece) and jetpack came to mind. I was either completely finished or verysuperclose when the existence of other jetpacks was brought to my attention, and of course that was disappointing.

I used the jetpack from The Rocketeer and another concept someone had physically built as references, so I do understand that the mechanics of the design would be similar to others' because they were also likely inspired by actual jetpacks. Artistically, I really don't think it came out too similarly to the others I've been shown. I'd honestly not seen them before, no inspiration came from them.

I just wanted to state that my mind was certainly far from the possibility of upsetting anyone as I was drawing, and I do promise I created this with originality.

Thanks again, all.

the implications of this are tasteless at best.

Not to mention that this same concept was already submitted here before and rejected back in derby 100.

Re: Fail

Not exactly alike, but close enough that I believe it shouldn't be allowed in the derby. This one was on the second page of a Google image search for "ET shirt".

I've bought a number of shirts fromm w00t and can't vote on this derby either.

Re: Sky Fishing

Wow, I adore every bit of this. It's so whimsical and lovely. <3

PopeYmir wrote:I still disapprove of the jet packs. The cross-sectional area should be reduced toward the exit.

So, while I agree with you on the physics here requiring a nozzle, I have decided to assume that these are not jetpacks as one would think of them traditionally. I think they are using a technology that does not yet exist with our current physics. Bernoulli is no more! After all, this is at some fantastical point in the future where Penguins, without the aid of opposable digits, wage war with Kiwis. So, I'm pretty sure they've figured some new stuff out.


And I still want to wear it.

Even if I was a bit of an Dr. Clayton Forrester and thought it was Bigfoot at first. :/ The polar bear is good, but the misconception of penguins and polar bears living in harmony down south drives me a bit nutty. For no good reason, I'll admit. Still, I haven't seen an rglee design that I haven't wanted on my turnips.

Even after all that rambling, GMV. I'll just tell myself the polar bear is on holiday. Yep.

I'm right there with you. That said, I love polar bears and this is a darn good one. I'd have to suspend disbelief and I'd definitely be in for one of these. Love it!

Oh I think Mr. Carlin would have been so shocked at what became of his words... Interesting to see that one of them slips through unscathed.

Anyway, off my body, this color pallete is very soft and pretty!

hmm maybe pale blue would look good? still love this design GMV

Re: Air Traffic Control

In an alternate universe, this is what they're reporting: "On the 101 today, we have a dragon tie-up, with bystanders waving their hands by the side of the road . . . we advise you to seek alternate routes." Cool design.

Re: Sky Fishing

VERY cool.

i remember a science teacher once posed a question to my class about how many penguins a polar bear could eat given a certain amount of territory with x penguins on land and x in the ocean, with x acres of turn being half ice have ocean. and given 8 hours to hunt.
i piped up with polar bears couldn't eat any since they don't live on the same side of the planet.
turns out that was the correct answer XD

I would agree, I like the play on underwater flying and like the colors. I could do without all the animal themes in everything, but I like this, and also liked Boot's whales (hopefully to print tommorrow!) as well.

Woe unto whoever is at the receiving end of that volley...If they're allergic to bunnies, that is. Or if they just don't like them. Or if they have a paranoid fear of rabbits raining down from the heavens.

EDIT: Read v1 Rejection... I totally remember that game now, forgot those 40 min I played it one day at work. Pretty weak rejection. GL with v2.

there's so many penguin tossing games. i think there's a polar bear variant too.

Re: One Flight Per Customer RESUB

Love it. Completely bummed about the original rejection, but this is great!

Re: Air Traffic Control

This made me smile.

Re: unnecessary precautions

This is so amazingly terrible, I'm actually shocked. And I really don't shock all that easily.

Re: Your Time to Fly

So sweat folks, even if this design does get rejected for being too similar to existing shirts all the designer has to do is make the jetpack blue instead of gold and add in some fancy high tech racing stripes and he'll be good to go!

Re: Your Time to Fly

backprinting!!! yay!!!

Re: Fail

LOL love it :D

Re: Gaseous Irony

It's a Science Joke!

Helium (He) and Neon(Ne) are both lighter than air gases, while Xenon(Xe) is the heaviest of the Noble gases.
L to the OL, right?

yeah, gorillaz was the first thing i thought of, too, which is why i REALLY like this one! (the high level of detail and nice use of halftones is also excellent!)

It's kind of an inside joke, he makes a pucker design for every derby and I don't think he's ever missed one. Why stop now? He's obviously having fun with it, and he's got fans.

Re: Hungry Eagle

Wow! I love this shirt!!!!!!!!

I totally laughed out loud when I saw this. Would totally buy it.
